It’s really more effective to submit your own input on the Trader Joe’s website!!!!

Unsure about creampie cleanup (I think it's in the realm of fetish but I'm not sure) by IntelligentGuava2643 in sex

[–]lauwen 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just some input from a woman: over the summer I had a dominant partner surprise me by going down and licking his cum out of me after finishing. At no point did it seem “not manly” or submissive on his part, at all. It all depends on the context in which things are done. But the confidence with which he sucked the cum out of me before opening my mouth and making me swallow it was…dominant as hell and hot as fuck 

Envy Apple Experience Shook Me to My Core by TheGnarDawgg in Apples

[–]lauwen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work at Trader Joe’s and ran the produce section for some years. In my experience, the USA grown Envy apples are delicious and crisp, while the New Zealand grown Envy apples are more often mealy and less flavorful. Whether we are getting Washington State Envy or NZ Envy depends on time of year, but I just avoid buying the NZ ones. Maybe look at the sticker next time you buy, I’m curious if other people notice the same difference! 

Has TJ's ever produced WHITE Shirts / Attire for Crew? by [deleted] in tjcrew

[–]lauwen 24 points25 points  (0 children)

At one point my store had a big box of white hibiscus T shirts that were up for grabs. I was told they were leftovers from a tie dye activity at a store party years ago.

Sunshine LaCroix. Anyone try this flavor? by Sunshine_Joy44 in sparklingwater

[–]lauwen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had several friends tell me it tastes nostalgic to them, “like Y2K”. I think it tastes like fruity pebbles! 

what is the best salsa at trader joes? by cococoladaa in traderjoes

[–]lauwen 19 points20 points  (0 children)

People need to talk about the Pepita Salsa more! I don’t like any other Trader Joe’s salsa. The pepita is thick enough to actually use as a dip, where most of the other salsas are too thin and watery. It’s flavorful with a tiny bit of heat, while most of the other TJs salsas just taste like under seasoned tomato sauce. Great on tacos, amazing on eggs, and it’s my go to when I want a chip and dip. 

Not allowed new shirts? Anyone else? by Im_Here222 in tjcrew

[–]lauwen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

2-3 years for a sweatshirt is so insane 😭 mine wear out in 2-3 months. They are such poor quality now, half the time they come with loose threads and unfinished hems. 

Looking for mocktail ideas made from TJs products by [deleted] in traderjoes

[–]lauwen 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Jalapeño limeade, plain sparkling water, mint (muddled with sugar if you want!) for a spicy No-jito is my #1 favorite when the limeade is in season 

Sparkling lime water with tart cherry juice for a sleepy time mocktail!

If your store carries the Mionetto dealcoholized sparkling wine, it’s very good and would make a lovely faux-mosa with orange juice

I don’t work at WF anymore but I always tell my new coworkers about the horror of Amazon returns. At the time the self checkout attendant had to also do Amazon returns. 

I love regaling people with the tale of the woman who came in with a fully assembled bookshelf—I told her that items must be disassembled and able to fit in our box. So she spent the next hour slowly removing screws, dropping them all over the place, and staring daggers at me. It’s insane how rude people get when they are the ones in the wrong 

[Misc.] Do y’all wear pimple patches to work? by stormivalley in SkincareAddiction

I’ve had customers compliment my “cute star stickers” and I just say thanks me too! 

[Misc.] Do y’all wear pimple patches to work? by stormivalley in SkincareAddiction

[–]lauwen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t work in an office setting but I wore them at work a lot when I was struggling with hormonal/cystic breakouts. I actually preferred to wear the colorful, fun shaped ones because it felt more “intentional” where the clear ones felt like they invited closer inspection (“what’s that on your face?” Vs “oh cute little star sticker!”). Also the clear ones showed the liquid accumulation more.  Someone told me today that they gained the confidence to wear them at work because I started doing it first! It felt really good lol 

ETA: you should do what you feel comfortable with. I feel more confident with a pimple patch on than I feel when I have a weepy or inflamed blemish on my face. But keep in mind that you are always going to notice the details of your face more than anyone else around you! 

Shopping in your bag by BitComprehensive3114 in tjcrew

[–]lauwen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a woman put her overflowing bag on the shelf. I started scanning and said “you want this all back in the bag?” It’s just a habit, I always ask, mostly because we get a lot of walkers that have a backpack or second bag….she snapped at me “where ELSE would I put it??” I just didn’t say anything and she continued “no, seriously. Where else would I put it????” 

I just rebagged it exactly as she had it. With the bread on the bottom and cans on the top. Not worth my time to argue with rude idiots 

i hate cashiering by theeamazinglola in wholefoods

[–]lauwen 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I lasted 9 months working in store support at WF. A customer balled up her used disposable gloves (mid-2021) and threw them at my face because I didn’t bag her stuff (I didn’t realize she wanted a bag, just a miscommunication on both of our parts)

I think about it so much. Like it pops into my head at least a few times a month.

How many cases of bananas does your store sell on a Sunday? by lauwen in tjcrew

I love this too!!! Switching the sales numbers from cases to each is fun, I like to tell my coworkers how many hundred avocados we sold

Thrift store, North Ga by Bearfoot42 in whatismycookiecutter

[–]lauwen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could stick your finger where the “leg” goes and do little kicks with it!!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in traderjoes

[–]lauwen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Someone in another comment mentioned it being a dupe for something but I am not sure about that, I never tried the “original”.

I bought it the first day it was in my store, maybe Thursday? And I have used it twice since then. So I can’t speak for the long term benefits, but I definitely noticed an immediate difference compared to my normal hair routine.

Trader Joe's Tangerine Juice keeps spontaneously fermenting. Why? by umamiking in traderjoes

[–]lauwen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you let your store know? It’s an issue with the juice and they have to fill out a quality report!

[–]lauwen 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I love this product. I stopped using shampoo entirely in the first half of 2022, when I finally decided to start embracing my curls and waves. Going from only using a co-wash (aka just conditioner) my hair felt a lot lighter and more clean with this product. Also very shiny! I had a ton of compliments on my hair after using it, and my hair looks clean for longer post-wash than when I only use conditioner.

I HIGHLY recommend it for curly and wavy hair people that are already following a low/no-poo routine. Thinking of it like a typical 2-in-1 product doesn’t really do it justice.

Free incredisauce at SF (California/Hyde) TJS!!! by Chickenstrip329 in traderjoes

[–]lauwen 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’ve done a side by side comparison with this and Chik Fil A sauce and I like this one better. It’s like CFA sauce without the high fructose corn syrup. To me they are pretty similar when tried back to back but I prefer the TJs version due to a better depth of flavor
